Just got back yesterday. Rest only in this hotel. Spent one night at another hotel on a two day trip to Kandy Sigiriya.
Well what can I say!?
In general, the holiday was a success.
The hotel compares favorably with 2-hour accessibility from Colombo airport.
They flew from Kyiv Air Arabia. With a change in Sharjah. The flight was delayed by half an hour, but arrived only 15 minutes. later than planned. As a result, for a transplant instead of 45 minutes. it was 30.
But given that boarding passes are registered in Kyiv for both flights, there were no problems. They managed to go through the Arab dutik and still hang around in the sump. There, by the way, there is a smoking room-toilets, and there is a small dooty-free.
We arrived at check-in late, but still managed to buy seats in the front row for an additional fee. 208 UAH from the forehead Just fell in price from 275. Ask at the reception.
The round-trip flight went off without a hitch. New aircraft A320. From Kyiv flew the first flight - the food is so-so. Was not fresh. On the second, there was almost nothing at all. Everything back is good. Essno food and drinks are paid.
Separately, I want to thank the Sri Lankan staff at the registration.
We returned with an overweight of 15 kilos of luggage.
At first they counted $290, but agreed to $200.
Mine started repacking the suitcases, putting one hand luggage in a large bag, but two pieces of luggage of 22-23 kilos came out, + one not a small suitcase of the type in hand luggage for 13 kg. Plus a bunch of bags and packages. As a result, they took the third suitcase in luggage, counting it as hand luggage. But they explained that it is better not to meddle with him on the plane.
And they counted the overweight - 3 kilos. Instead of real 15-20.
Paid 50 more.
Normal guys, I offered the person 20 euros, he said that he would not accept it and that he would make a maximum of $ 50.
In general, the ratio of Sri Lankan receivers is a solid 5.
The suitcases were not wrapped in foil, only one. Everything went 100%.
About the hotel.
1. Settlement.
Arrived in Colombo at 4 am
We were at the hotel at 7.
The guide, no matter how hard he tried, did not give him a fast settlement. But as soon as he left, they gave us the keys with a smile on our faces and brought our luggage. And at 7:30 we went to breakfast, where we were received with a smile. This is all without any bribes.
The restaurant was half empty.
2. Food.
Breakfast is not bad, there is a large selection.
The only thing that upset, for all the time there was never ketchup, so take it with you, or buy it there.
We didn't take lunch. Not why.
Dinner is also not bad, you can't try everything. But all drinks are paid, if not AI.
And not cheap.
But no one forbids taking food to the room.
You calmly pick up a plate and stomp into the room and drink whatever your heart desires. There is no Tunisian-Egyptian redneck here.
You can even order breakfast in your room in advance.
There is a full-fledged room service. Unlike Tunisia, where in the evening in AlaCarte for AI, the menu is shortened to impossible, and there is nothing sensible to eat.
3. Entertainment.
None in particular. Wednesdays before dinner cocktail night. Light snacks and cocktails to choose from. Everything is free.
Near the bar there is live music almost every evening. A day later, they bring the elephant Monica, you can ride for money.
There are no discos, no animation at all.
Sometimes groups of visitors order separately, you can hang out with them.
In a word - 100% relaxation.
There is a SPA salon, I took my wife to the spa promotion. Discounted type of massage. $15 for 30 min. As a result, there were 20
Any taxes ate 5 more
They didn't go there anymore.
You can swim in the ocean, but it is difficult. Big waves.
The shower is in the hotel in the corner on the right, if you look towards the sea.
The pool is chlorinated. Clean.
Ravens don't get much. Staff kindly wipe their excrement from chairs and tables.
4. Staff.
Responsive and smiling. As you treat them, so they treat you.
The room was changed two days later, as our air conditioner did not work well.
Bathrobes must be requested. They won't give it.
Bed linen and towels are changed if necessary. The sheets got dirty on the first day and they changed them right away.
The towels seemed to be changed every day without having to throw them on the floor. - Apparently Russian Ukrainian tourists taught them)))
There is a piece of paper in English - If you need to replace the towel, throw them....And then the drawing of the heel.
Not everyone will understand right away.
A 5 star hotel for sure. You just have to insist on it. ))
There is one fellow at the reception, he understands Russian.
So, have a good rest.
